Evening/morning all:
Lindybird; Yes!! What was the Drama next door?? Oh by the way, remember the "Tiger Woods" event down the road where somone drove into a neighbor's garage? Well, heard it was yet another neighbor's young son, totally potted (drunk) who was coming home late and somehow mistook the gas pedal for the brake!! Apparently, the Fire Department was there, etc., and had to cut the (uninjured) perpetrator out of the car because the garage door collapsed onto the car. They've just completed the repairs.
OG. Ooooh. Another lovely butterfly. Thanks!
Alan: Watched the US/Ghana match - felt so bad for the U.S. team (but if they'd won, would've felt bad for the Ghana team!) They started off so lackluster; then picked up in the second half, but then hit (to me at least) a sort of slump toward the end of the second half, but picked up again in the overtime, but to no avail. It doesn't matter which team/player I support, I always feel bad for the loser. These people put so much time and effort into their games.... Soccer is so much more exciting than U.S. football where, as I've noted before, the players are all done up like Michelin men and spend most of their tiime in a pile.....
AQ: We had floor heaters in our church in Watford, and everyone huddled over them (and roasted!) during the winter months. I missed the "red card" reference in your response to Alan....."
Our new back gate got installed today. I worked in the garden (after footie!) and managed to decimate a Potato Vine. Was trying to "re-install" it on the wall, but thought I'd be clever and trim it. Big mistake. Oh well, it'll grow back.
OG - Are you still up? I hope you hear good news soon. Thinking of you. Now I must away to the kitchen.
AQ - yes - I stayed up - prefer to be up rather than lying in bed when I can't sleep - will catch up some sleep tonight. Enjoy your dinner - we shall soon have breakfast - OH has set his alarm clock for 8:00am.
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Lindybird: Saw this and thought of you!!
From staff moderator in the The Tea Rooms Forum:
You can now put all your own, or your favorite Poetry about birds and wildlife in our new poetry corner. Maybe we will find the new William Wordsworth.
OG - I haven't posted on here for a couple of days, but have been reading ... just read your 'all-night' comments and am thinking of you.

Morning, All, and especially Original Goldfinch - we are all thinking of you today.
Thank you all - your care and kindness is overwhelming - I am not going to name individuals because I might leave someone out, and I don't want to do that. Sorry I can't share details, just to say it is a very difficult situation. Freezer defrost is postponed, and we shall have a quiet day at home today.
Morning all and I just want to echo everone elses sentiments OG.
Another shopping mission looms and the troops are ready to storm Tescos and do battle with whatever comes between us and the food shelves. Wish me luck everyone. I am going out now and I could be some time!!!
OG: Understand that you don't want to go into details, but you know that we are all thinking of you and want to help in any way possible: come on here for a bit of normality if you have the time.
Alan: Hope your Mission is successful with as few losses as possible to the troops! Into battle!
Drizzly here today and rain forecast later - but we need it for the crops and the garden, so shan't complain. Off on Shopping Mission myself now, and going to Cinema later, so will leave 'our' nest in capable hands of others for most of today.
July already! How the year goes by.
